What Would You Do

.. if you could get away with it?

* * *

(UPDATE - Note to the person who just entered "rejoin Neurocam": you can. They will take pretty much anyone. Even I, the most hated-on man in ex-Camland, could probably rejoin if I wanted to. Especially if I used a new name. Why you would want to is a mystery, because it's a laughable shambles overseen by a compulsively manipulative, pathologically self-centred fuckhead from hell. But hey, go for it.)

Which entry is yours?

There's one about a shoe camera that seems like your doing. Or is yours the neighbours dog one? Or the one where you want to destroy the concept of self?

[teigan]

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may compromise my anonymity.

Teigen...Teigen...so much neuroanger inside you...

Here, lay on this couch, tell me why the man in the white fedora reminds you so much of your mother....

[teigan]

Man, I am sick of this *you're*-the-one-with-the-problem-pal reaction re my anger at the man in the white fedora.

Sorry if that sounds a trifle short - but I am.

My anger is quite justified. Anyone else would be just as angry as I am, in my shoes. Actually they wouldn't, because most people would indeed be swayed by the awesome-ah hypnotic power of teh consensus into blaming themselves, however illogical and unreasonable doing that might be.

Silly most people, who can die.

And on a tangental note, if I may be forgiven for deviating into quasi-seriousness for just a brief moment: It's *nice* that, at the age of thirty, I've finally reached a point where I *know*, without needing to consult my notes, that my ever-so-very-problematic lifelong habit of thinking independently is actually feature.. not a bug.

I'm proud of it. So y'all can bite me, The World. Your idiot opinions are irrelevant.

:P

There you go, Mr Sigmund Carfax.

Have fun with your analysis!

[teigan]

And to answer your question more directly: I'm angry at Hely because he totally screwed me and effectively got clean away with it.

I bang on about it constantly because it sickens me that he is no doubt continuing to screw other people in exactly the same way - and that due to his extraordinary fuckhead powers, pretty much nobody else has either the will or the trousers to say a word against him - at least in public.

And I'm angry about Neurocam because seeing so much totally wasted potential makes me cry real tears.

I mean.. it's funny.. gotta laugh incha etc

There *is* a sense in which the man in the white fedora reminds me of my mother.

The man with the cigar-that-was-just-a-cigar was a fuckhead, too - but he knew a thing or two. Can't be denied.

I think everyone is just living vicariously through your pesky-Scooby Doo gang efforts.

Besides - artists are supposed to be fuckheads....the truly determined could complain to the ACCC for false and misleading conduct (they were falsely representing themselves as a compnay legally operating in Australia - just 'cause its art don't make it legal) - that will stuff his hopes of future grant applications I'm sure...

See I don't suggest these things idly... :-P

Here's my prescription for our couch session...go to a bottle shop, Wigs on Queens St, and get a small bottle of La Fee (or a large bottle) and a bottle of bubbly.

Place a shot of absinthe into a champagne glass, or clean vegemite jar, and fill it with the sparkling wine. Don't feel the need to entertain yourself with temperance. This little cocktail is known as "Death in the Afternoon", and I think you will enjoy it...

I may or may not have made certain Efforts, k, but none - I swear - of the pesky-Scooby Gang variety (apart from personal vilification on my own and others' blogs, and in response to unsolicited enquiries - if that counts) - coz these could potentially be traced to me. And I do fear his wrath. The man is a total fucking psycho and has quite the temper on him.

My only defense in that department is that I am also, and do as well.

Besides - artists are supposed to be fuckheads....

Well, there are fuckheads and fuckheads, aren't there.

Artists are supposed to be self-absorbed, inconsiderate fuckheads - and I will always make allowances for this in assessing the character of an artist whose work I respect.

But if you're gonna be an actively malevolent, Sarah-Michelle-Gellar-in-Cruel-Intentions, hey-Ryan-Phillipe-let's-destroy-an-innocent-young-girl-for-kicks grade fuckhead your work will have to be of a considerably higher standard than that of Mr Hely's before I'll let you off on the Artist Clause. And you'd better stay the hell away from me personally.

the truly determined could complain to the ACCC for false and misleading conduct (they were falsely representing themselves as a compnay legally operating in Australia - just 'cause its art don't make it legal)

Oh, I could do considerably better than that.

I could also have his legs broken. I had a credible enough offer to solicit this service on my behalf from someone who knows someone.

But, you know... actually, maybe you're right. Maybe I should.

I've been trying to tell myself to move on, is all, see.

And that his own fuckheadedness will screw him in the end. Which it already demonstrably has done and is - anyone who has observed the increasingly sorry fiasco that is Neurocam itself at reasonably close range can testify to that.

I don't know what school of psychoanalysis you're from, Doctor. But I think I like it.

[Adam]

In Japan they locked a man in a room for 2 years and broadcast it. To that extent, you got away lightly.

[teigan]

Really? That's awesome. As long as it wasn't me. Was he a willing participant? If so, did they use Mind Control (tm)?

"As an Artist, I used to have no end of trouble persuading people to be locked in rooms for two years while I broadcasted them for my own sadistic amusement the sake of Art. Then I discovered Mind Control (tm)! Now I have no real friends, but everybody thinks I am a well-edgy genius and shit."

[teigan]

I am going to make an audio version of that comment.

[Adam]

I wonder why 'rejoining Neurocam' is something they would consider "getting away with"?

They can do what they like. It's not like breaking someones legs.

[teigan]

Actually I followed this up - and they can't.

Looks like it's Phase 3 time *rolls eyes etc*

The chick at the end of the new video is LJ with her voice modified. I'm sure she'll be very proud.

[j]

oi -- modified indeed. i think i finally like the sound of my own REAL voice after hearing that.

(excuse me, i need to get my acrylic tips retouched now, then bang the entire football team in the back of the bus.)

gooooo, neurocam!

heh.
